Working on a program that uses brackets.  [ and ].  They show up as x'BA'
and x'BB' in EBCDIC.  When I copy the file with them to a stream file, they
are converted to x'E2' and x'E3' for ASCII which actually is garbage and not
what I want.

They should be x'5B' and x'5D' in ASCII.  Looking at the QASCII table, the
values need to be x'4A' and x'5A' in EBCDIC do convert correctly.

Anyone have any ideas without having to specifically specify the hex values
that will convert??  

Brad
